2021 Monthly Key Word Reading Challenge

Welcome to the 2021 Monthly Key Word Reading Challenge! We’re so excited to be back for another year of reading with you!

HOW IT WORKS

~ This is a monthly challenge that runs all year long from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

~ Eight “key words” are given for each month. Your task is to read 1 book that includes one or more of the key words in the title.

~ Synonyms and suffixes are allowed. For example, if the keyword is ‘Lake’ you may also use the words ‘Lakes’, ‘Water’, ‘Sea’, ‘Ocean’. Consult Thesaurus.com for appropriate synonyms.

~ A check in post will be published here on the blog and on Instagram each month. You can link up on the blog posts to announce your completion of that months challenge using the hashtag #KeyWordReadingChallenge
